    Hi sleepyhedgehog ,

     

    Q1. Yes, you need to make sure the field name in the dataset is the same as the field name in SQL Server. If different, the following error will be prompted when refreshing.

     

    Q2. I noticed that you want to change the field name in the data source. Power BI does not support reverse editing of the data source, so you may need to go back to the data source, use GUI tools or enter SQL statements to change the column names.

     

    Best Regards,
